Podcasts about Gucci

Three years of the Watson Weekly, and Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky mark it by doing the one thing a retail show almost never does on air: putting a grade next to the stores they actually shop.It is a tier list. S through C, live, no rubric shown to the audience. Alo Yoga takes the only S, on a hundred-plus stores, international expansion into London and Korea, and a King Street address in Charleston sitting between Skims and Gucci. Rick admits he was a hater first. Amazon lands at A on the strength of everything that isn't retail, including an ad business Jessica sizes at $56 billion, and lands there in spite of an experience Rick says has been crapped on by its own advertising. Lululemon and Nordstrom both stop at B. Eight varieties of pants that nobody working the floor can explain, and a service standard Nordstrom wrote for itself that Rick clocked hitting about fifty percent across four recent visits.Target does not get a letter. It gets a sell. Two years without a CMO, stores still out of stock, a rough back to school, and an insular Minnesota culture that Rick argues rejects outside ideas faster than it can hire them. Walmart gets a buy.Plus: Whole Foods as a returns counter that occasionally sells milk, why the Rack keeps outrunning the mothership, what Dick's is really buying with Foot Locker, and Jessica's ongoing Nuuly problem.

It's been a major summer for sports, from the World Cup to the Knicks winning and even the Tour de France, for those who care. Now, the US Open is here, and The Run-Through co-host Nicole Phelps and Senior Editor (and big tennis fan) Corey Seymour had a chance to chat with world champion Aryna Sabalenka at the Gucci Fifth Avenue store during a live taping on Monday night, just a week ahead of the official start of the tournament. “There's been a lot of ups and downs. I would say that I started the season really well, on a strong note. But then, something went really off the hill, but I'm getting back on track. I'm working really hard to hopefully win the US Open for the third time,” Aryna told the hosts, reflecting on how the season has gone so far. Since her last US Open win, Aryna has had plenty of major life events. On top of winning the Grand Slam title last year and maintaining her ranking as the world's No. 1 player for 90 consecutive weeks, she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, while wearing a pair of jeans (they were beautiful, she noted) and a plain white T-shirt. “I was crying for a little moment because I looked ugly. I was unprepared. Girls will understand that, you know?” Then there was the puppy. Adopting a dog was a deal she made with herself that was dependent on winning the US Open last year. When asked what she might get this time if she wins, she said: “I mean, Ash [her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel] needs a friend, so it's probably gonna be the same.” Also on today's episode, Nicole and Chloe chat about the sad deaths of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry and reflect on their favorite works by both artists. They also discuss Vogue's Casa Magazines pop-up, where Chloe indulged in horchata popsicles and hung out with Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere as they signed copies of the September Issue. This episode of The Run-Through is presented by Gucci. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Janet Caperna is back in The Haute Seat, and nothing is off-limits as we strip down Bravo's hottest headlines, red-carpet fashion and some truly jaw-dropping reality-TV history. We kick off with Haute Topics and Janet's take on breaking the fourth wall. She explains why reality TV sometimes has to acknowledge fame, production and the comment section for the story to make sense—and gets candid about the dark side of being on television. After her first season, Janet says online hate crossed a terrifying line with death threats and racial slurs aimed at her husband and son. Then came the headline claiming the family had “fled to Switzerland,” when they were actually on a planned vacation in gorgeous Lake Lugano. Janet also spills on The Valley cast group chat, a recent star-packed dinner with Shannon Beador, Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent and Michelle Saniei, and why she thinks Bravo spin-offs and “Next Gen” shows can absolutely work. Next, Runway Rundown gets fashionable and feisty. We weigh in on Kristen Doute's bump-baring maternity look, debate Pamela Anderson's makeup-free red-carpet era, and revisit Scheana Shay's wedding gown—including Janet's firsthand memories as a bridesmaid and Pol's behind-the-scenes styling details. Then Janet faces her own reunion fashion: the backless look she wore after losing 70 pounds of baby weight, the Rachel Zoe/vintage Gucci comparison, and the secret to dressing for a reunion where you may be sitting on a couch for12-plus hours. She even teases her newest reunion look: a primary color, tasteful peekaboo skin and borrowed diamonds. The conversation gets even hotter when Janet talks marriage, why an open relationship would never work for her, and delivers one of the episode's wildest lines about Jason. Then it's Game Time: “Bravo's Biggest Capers,” where scams, scandals and reality-TV chaos collide. We quiz Janet on the White House crash heard around Bravo, Teresa Giudice's prison sentence, Scandoval, Anna Delvey and Ariana Maddox. But the biggest caper may be Janet's own story: she reveals she once partied with Elizabeth Holmes shortly before Holmes went to prison. What began with a mysterious “Lizzie” FaceTime at Sundance turned into a surreal night at a San Francisco jazz bar—and Janet says Holmes got “hammered.” That confession sends us straight into our own Anna Nicole Smith memories and the glory days of truly unfiltered reality television. Fashion, Bravo gossip, scandal, diamonds, death threats, Scandoval and Elizabeth Holmes at a jazz bar—Janet Caperna's Haute Seat is officially scorching.

A top bit of Lillian for an acting legend. We're delighted to host Ray Winstone at Dish for a meal fit for acting royalty. Ray, born and raised in East London, has starred on screens since his breakthrough role in Scum in 1979. Other credits from a storied career include That Summer!, Quadrophenia, Sexy Beast, The Departed and Nil By Mouth, alongside Kathy Burke and Gary Oldman.  Ray has a strong connection to Sicily, and regularly spends time at his Italian retreat, where he lives with a degree of self-sufficiency growing fruit, vegetables, nuts and even making his own olive oil. As we find out, Ray has immersed himself completely into Sicilian culture, and takes time to swap notes with Angela about its benefits and idiosyncrasies. We also hear about Ray's sweet tooth, his love of a rib of beef and slow cooked meats, and the joy of sharing sloppy pig trotters with pals.  Angela serves up a Dover sole with buttery capers & shallots, inspired by this pan-fried plaice recipe, with sides of Jersey Royals and green helga beans. There's also some of Angela's own focaccia to help mop up any delicious buttery juices. The wine flows through the episode, beginning with a bottle of Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella, with M de Minuty Côtes De Provence Rosé the suggested pairing for the meal. Don't forget the salted caramel truffles, too. They come along with the Goody Bag for the ultimate final temptation for Ray.  Ray can be seen as crime boss Bobby Glass in The Gentlemen on Netflix right now, with Season 2 landing on 3 September. The show, directed and produced by Guy Ritchie, features a cast including Theo James, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson and former Dish guest, Kaya Scodelario. As we know from our chat with Natalie Portman, a set run by Guy Ritchie is always a tasty one, so what did Ray make of the catering?!

We're diving into the absolute shocker that billionaire Cristiano Ronaldo opted for an intimate living room wedding with no guests but the kids and some customized Gucci shoes. On the Homie Helpline, 24-year-old Nancy is feeling like she's behind bars because her upcoming rapper man gets triggered by her spam TikToks and Justin Bieber reposts. The squad debates whether a $5 million ring makes up for a "cheapskate" venue or if he's just testing her loyalty one last time. Because Don't You Know I'm Local, we're also hitting the thrift shops for back-to-school deals while Angie admits she'd rather wait in the car than smell the "Goodwill scent." We even get a "scared straight" perspective from a 40-year-old single baddy who warns that if you don't make your man feel secure now, you'll be the one crying when he blows up. It's a wild ride through sentimental vows, toxic location-sharing, and the ultimate hunt for $10 vintage Levis! [Edited by @iamdyre

It's that time of year again—the September issue is back and this year is Chloe's first September issue as Head of Editorial Content at American Vogue. Fifteen years ago, before she interviewed at Vogue, she watched the 2009 The September Issue documentary to prepare herself for what was to come. Now it's her moment to be at the helm of the issue celebrating “the January of fashion.” Co-host Nicole Phelps and Vogue's Director of the Global Fashion Network, Virginia Smith joined Chloe to talk about their favorite stories from the issue and the behind the scenes mania of the elaborate photoshoots. They began by discussing the cover shoot photographed by the inimitable Steven Meisel starring Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, two of the leads from Ryan Murphy's adaptation of The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. This cover, featuring the young starlets in beautiful Chanel, calls back to the 1992 cover shoot of their parents Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere, shot by Herb Ritts. As far as the fashion message being conveyed in the shoot, Virginia explained, “We kept talking about this idea of designers looking back at the past to reinvent their future, and that tied in with the whole nepo-baby thing, and certainly made sense for our cover stars.” In her Editor's Letter at the front of the book, Chloe spoke about connecting with the cover stars over their shared experience of having famous parents and her embrace of the “nepo-baby” label. Homer, in particular, is new to the limelight and Chloe called him up. "Look, as someone with famous parents, you can run away from it, but that's not gonna work,” she told him, “And you should be proud of your parents. I'm proud of my parents—they've certainly made me who I am.” Nicole then spoke about Nathan Heller's deep dive with Demna. “[Demna] accomplished so much at Balenciaga and I think that has given him an assurance that he can take on this new challenge of Gucci. And he's really leading with fun.” The story includes a portrait of Demna, which was shot just days after the flashy Times Square resort show. Anna politely, but pointedly insisted that he not show up in all black, and he obeyed her wishes, showing up in a white t-shirt. They also noted a few other standout stories including Gaby Wood's profile of Marta Ortega, who has been responsible for leading Zara into the future over the past few years, Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin's maximalist train car shoot featuring the West End's favorite actors, Mattie Kahn's profile of conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and Adrienne Miller's conversation with Julia Louis Dreyfus about her upcoming Broadway debut. Also on today's episode, Chloe and Chioma caught up after Chloe's family trip to France. They discuss Chioma's latest Nicole Kidman cover shot by Venetia Scott and written by Giles Hattersley. “She's just got such presence,” Chioma noted, recalling a starstruck moment she had while greeting her at the Met Gala, “this kind of quiet, sphinx-like presence.” They also chat about the book club pick and Chioma's upcoming travels to Switzerland and Greece!

We ventured out to Gilligan's Brewery to record this week for a change of scenery and some food.  TWP Chris showed up to add some extra chaos into the mix as well! Did we manage to get a full show in without getting kicked out?  Only one way to know for sure. Listen in as we discuss things such as:  Tunnels of love. Julia leaving. General and/or Colonel Sanders and lots of KFC/chicken. Sheep and goats. The proper speed to listen to these shows at.  The dumbest thing Julia's ever written down. Fresh eggs. Rambo. Sun tea. Slow mo. Blake had his co-host back! Alex helped to interview Kelly Montgomery about the new brewer at Third Eye Sharonville and how it might change things, and how Third Eye is #TeamNoPrep. Mike and Bret fight over the best Van Halen lead singer. Welcoming in our pumpkin and Oktoberfest beer overlords. The line between freedom of speech and encouraging potentially loose screw behavior. The Muff Dive. Cincy Brew Dads have a happy hour that's less than an hour. When you home brew you make home brews. Keeping homebrewing relevant in a city like Cincinnati. How to not be the first to break the communal hug at the end of the meeting.  Cincy Brewcast doesn't let all guests share their beer journey stories. Making goat and chicken bartenders work. Don't question the meat sources. Gnome is planning on starting OnlySips. The Weekly Point (DRINK!) had it all - rum. Science done with rum. An RTD. Technical difficulties brought on by forgetfulness. Brew Kettle's side chick. The end of the bourbon boom.  The drinks that provide introspection.  Bloatarian info: https://www.bloatarian.com/ Beer and Sweat info: https://beerawardsplatform.com/38th-annual-beer-sweat Basic Brewing Radio featuring Brian Evanston from the Bloatarians - https://content.libsyn.com/p/1/1/e/11e2bc6058b1d05f/bbr07-16-26beersweat.mp3?c_id=204151480&cs_id=204151480&response-content-type=audio%2Fmpeg&Expires=1785961953&Signature=bfGmu9SJcvV~rZr12wV3O7dqyOJYA1e0ncPRMbgTKxDp18q48~23Ao03JUQr5vAMxpOtexv23K2cxOVEFUoXF3vvyQVJ1wBYW6yCplWtWsJcw4-znYeC-CFryOV5NxB40i5jVq-eYor0wc3qhP4pHn0-WDeL6VLCRf3p42ci8aJAub7qWYv7g4arvaYjUnAm720dE0BA2xCp7eKFpcGkPTY-TmOLYyLdEqTwklNkXYIcFX27FbhUQIqBg7ZgKYBvke7jpO3FYDMPBWf6JGxCsk--cNntvJo-C4Twj0yOzxA1Hyk~1NeTvdCjfzSbcyfFcLD-jt~XMTXv9wP3h3NfBA__&Key-Pair-Id=K1YS7LZGUP96OI This week, Patreon gets to hear Marco talk about gator boots and Gucci suits, Julia getting distracted by dogs, the newest lactose substitute for stouts, what Spiderman taste like, and more!

Apparently, self-driving cars don't know where they shouldn't park Self-driving cars are proving to be remarkably safe on the road and, so far, have demonstrated a better safety record than human drivers in many situations. However, like all technology, they still lack common sense. They may be able to navigate traffic, but they don't always understand where they can and more importantly, cannot park.   Over the past year and a half or so in Austin, Texas, Waymo's fleet of roughly 300 robotaxis has accumulated nearly $10,000 in parking tickets. While autonomous vehicles are doing well when it comes to following maps and traffic laws, they can become confused in situations that require human judgment. Reports indicate they sometimes struggle to follow directions from first responders, stop in places that block traffic, park in handicap spaces, or fail to recognize tow-away zones.   One notable incident in 2025 involved a Waymo vehicle that stopped on the side of a road in northern Austin while blocking an active railroad crossing. Police reportedly weren't sure how to move the vehicle, so they called a tow truck to remove it. There have also been reports of Waymo vehicles stopping in front of parking garage entrances and parking lot access points for no obvious reason, preventing other drivers from entering or exiting.   These issues will likely be resolved as the technology improves. Still, they highlight an important limitation. These robotaxis can process enormous amounts of data and make incredibly complex driving decisions, but it doesn't possess the instinctive common sense that people rely on everyday. For now, that's one area where humans still have an advantage over machines.   Why Interest Rates Could Stay Higher Than Many Expect One of the biggest debates in financial markets today is where interest rates are heading. While recessions can temporarily push yields lower, there are several long-term structural reasons why interest rates may remain elevated compared to what investors became accustomed to after the 2008 financial crisis.   The first and perhaps most important issue is the federal government's fiscal position. U.S. federal debt has climbed to roughly $40 trillion which is about 120% of GDP, a level that is historically very high outside of major wars or national emergencies. For much of the post-World War II period, debt-to-GDP remained well below current levels before accelerating sharply after the financial crisis and again during the pandemic.   Just as concerning is the federal deficit. The government continues to run annual deficits exceeding 5% of GDP, meaning debt is growing faster than the economy itself. As long as Washington continues borrowing at a pace that exceeds economic growth, the debt burden becomes increasingly difficult to stabilize. More Treasury issuance means investors must absorb a growing supply of government bonds, which can place upward pressure on yields unless demand keeps pace.   Another factor is the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. During the financial crisis and the pandemic, the Fed became one of the largest buyers of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, helping suppress long-term interest rates through quantitative easing.   While the Fed has begun reducing its holdings, its balance sheet remains enormous by historical standards. Federal Reserve assets of about $6.7 trillion are currently equal to roughly 21% of U.S. GDP. Before the2008-09 financial crisis, the Fed's balance sheet averaged only about 6% of GDP, meaning it remains more than three times larger than its pre-crisis norm. Although assets have declined from the April 2022 peak of approximately $9 trillion, or roughly 35% of GDP, the balance sheet is still exceptionally large compared to history. Another comparison that is troubling is Fed holdings currently amount to about 26.5% of all assets held by U.S. commercial banks versus the norm of about 10% before the financial crisis.   Continuing to shrink the balance sheet would allow private markets to play a larger role in determining interest rates while reducing the Federal Reserve's extraordinary footprint in financial markets. A return toward more normal market functioning would likely mean less artificial downward pressure on long-term yields.   History also provides perspective on where Treasury yields could ultimately settle. Since 1958, the 10-year Treasury yield has averaged roughly 1.92 percentage points above inflation. That is simply a long-run average and there have been periods when the spread exceeded 5 percentage points and others when it turned negative, but it does give some guidance on a normalized level for the 10-year treasury.   When it comes to mortgage rates, they are closely tied to Treasury yields as well. Historically, the spread between the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield has generally averaged about 1.5%to 2%, reflecting credit risk, servicing costs, and other factors. Post Covid, this spread did spike to over 3%, but that 1.5% to 2% range seems to be pretty consistent going back to 1990. If Treasury yields remain structurally higher because of persistent deficits, elevated debt levels, and a still-large Federal Reserve balance sheet, mortgage rates could also remain above the exceptionally low levels many homeowners became accustomed to.   None of this means rates cannot decline during economic slowdowns or recessions. They almost certainly will at times. But investors expecting a permanent return to near-zero interest rates may be overlooking the structural forces now shaping the bond market. High government debt, persistent fiscal deficits, continued Treasury issuance, and a Federal Reserve balance sheet that remains well above historical norms all suggest that the era of ultra-cheap money may prove to be the exception rather than the rule.   Should You Buy or Sell That Luxury Brand Stock? Luxury brand stocks that sell high-end handbags, jewelry, and other luxury goods have been in a bear market for the past couple of years. After aggressively raising prices during and immediately following the pandemic, it appears the buying frenzy for luxury products has faded.   There may be one bright spot beginning to emerge, particularly in the jewelry category. Richemont, the parent company of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati, reported a 24% year-over-year increase in jewelry sales in its most recent quarter. If you don't recognize those brands, don't worry, the important takeaway is that they sell some of the world's most expensive jewelry, and demand in that segment has remained surprisingly resilient.   Luxury giants, including Kering, the parent company of Gucci, as well as LVMH and Hermès have suffered steep declines over the past few years. LVMH has fallen from more than $900 per share to around $500, while Kering has dropped from over $900 to roughly $300 as Gucci's sales have struggled.   During the pandemic, some consumers even purchased luxury handbags with the expectation that they would appreciate in value. While a handful of extremely rare bags have done just that, those cases are the exception rather than the rule. If you're buying a luxury handbag, buy it because you genuinely enjoy it not because you expect it to become a profitable investment.   The same caution applies to the stocks. My view is that the surge in luxury spending during and immediately after COVID was fueled by an extraordinary amount of stimulus money and excess savings, creating an artificial spike in demand. As those conditions have faded, so has the appetite for expensive discretionary purchases.   While there may be periods of recovery, especially in categories like jewelry, I don't expect the luxury sector to return to the pandemic-era buying frenzy anytime soon. That makes me cautious on both the products themselves as investments and the stocks that depend on that level of consumer spending.   The Paramount deal just can't stay out of the news Next month will mark one year since Paramount began its pursuit of Warner Bros. What started as an unsolicited bid eventually turned into an agreement for Paramount to acquire Warner Bros. in an $81 billion deal. However, the transaction continues to face significant legal hurdles.   Several state attorneys general have raised antitrust concerns, forcing the deal into the court system. In the meantime, Paramount has agreed to pay a $650 million per quarter "ticking fee" if the deal is not completed by September 30. On top of that, the company's legal bill has already reached roughly $160 million, and the case hasn't even gone to trial yet.   The costs only increase from here. If the merger is ultimately blocked or isn't completed by June 2027, Paramount would owe Warner Bros. a staggering $7 billion breakup fee.   Paramount is pushing to begin the trial by November 4, but the attorneys general seeking to block the deal want to delay proceedings until next April. Paramount does have some leverage, as it has major operations and thousands of employees in states such as California, New York, and New Jersey. Even California Governor Gavin Newsom has encouraged the state's attorney general to find an out-of-court resolution.   For investors, this has been an extremely nerve-racking situation. Paramount shares are currently trading around $8, down roughly 41% year to date after starting the year near $13.40 per share. Every delay adds more uncertainty, more legal expenses, and more ticking fees.   There are also strong incentives for the companies involved to get the deal across the finish line. Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav could reportedly receive compensation worth more than $800 million if the transaction is completed, giving him a significant financial incentive to see the merger succeed.   This will likely continue to test shareholders' patience. As the legal battle drags on, the legal bills and ticking fees continue to pile up. It makes me wonder: Is this deal really worth it for David Ellison and Paramount?   Should U.S. Car Makers Like Ford and General Motors Diversify Their Businesses? It's no secret that the auto industry is highly cyclical, with periods of strong demand followed by inevitable slowdowns. Right now, both Ford and General Motors are generating significant cash flow and posting solid earnings despite paying billions of dollars in tariff costs and writing off substantial losses from their electric vehicle investments. But the question investors should be asking is: when does the party end?   One concern is affordability. New vehicle prices continue to rise, making it increasingly difficult for many consumers, especially younger buyers, to purchase a car. At the same time, younger generations simply don't seem as excited about getting behind the wheel as previous generations were.   The numbers are striking. Today, only about 25% of 16-year-olds have a driver's license, roughly half the percentage from 1980, when about 50% were licensed. Even among 18-year-olds, only around 60% have a driver's license today, compared with roughly 80% nearly five decades ago. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft have made it easier for young adults to pay for transportation rather than own a vehicle themselves. I also can't help but wonder how that's changed the dating scene compared with past generations.   The auto industry has faced this type of challenge before. During the 1980s, both Ford and General Motors spent billions of dollars diversifying into financial services and defense businesses. Meanwhile, Toyota stayed focused on building reliable, high-quality vehicles that consumers wanted to buy. While Detroit was chasing diversification, Toyota was steadily gaining market share with better products.   I hope today's management teams remember that lesson. Auto manufacturing will always be cyclical, and no business grows every single year. The best long-term strategy may be to focus on building vehicles that customers genuinely want rather than chasing growth in unrelated industries.   That said, there are signs that history could be repeating itself. Ford recently announced Ford Energy, a grid-scale battery storage business, while General Motors continues expanding its military vehicle business and is working with Lockheed Martin on defense-related technologies. These ventures could prove successful, but investors should hope management doesn't lose sight of its core business.   History has shown that the companies producing the best vehicles over the long run are usually the ones that create the most value for shareholders.   A Weak Jobs Report, But There Were a Few Bright Spots There is no sugarcoating it, today's jobs report was weaker than expected and adds to the evidence that the labor market is continuing to cool. Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 23,000 jobs in the month and May and June saw a combined negative revision of 103,000 jobs. May was revised from 129,000 to 66,000 and June was revised from 57,000 to 20,000.   Even though the report was softer than anticipated, the headline payroll number doesn't tell the entire story. A meaningful portion of the weakness came from government employment as it fell by 53,000 jobs in the month. Local government education jobs were particularly weak with a decline of 50,000 jobs as they can be volatile during the summer because of seasonal adjustments.   There also appear to be temporary distortions related to the FIFA World Cup, which likely shifted hiring patterns. Leisure and hospitality showed a decline of 40,000 jobs and retail trade declined by 19,000 jobs. Those factors don't erase the weakness, but they do suggest the private sector wasn't quite as soft as the headline number implies.   There were still several areas of strength in the report worth highlighting. Healthcare remained a key driver of payroll growth, adding 22,000 jobs. While that was below its 12-month average of 36,000, it continues to be one of the strongest and most consistent sources of job creation. Construction also posted a solid gain, with payrolls increasing by 22,000, suggesting that demand in the sector remains resilient despite elevated interest rates and ongoing affordability challenges.   The unemployment rate remained one of the stronger aspects of the report, falling to 4.1%. By historical standards, that still reflects a relatively healthy labor market. However, there is an important caveat. The labor force participation rate declined again, meaning fewer Americans were either working or actively looking for work.   The participation rate fell to 61.4%, its lowest level in more than five years and, excluding the Covid pandemic, the lowest reading in roughly 50 years. Likewise, the employment-to-population ratio slipped to 58.9%, its lowest level since May 2014. A declining participation rate can make the unemployment rate appear stronger than it actually is because people who stop looking for work are no longer counted as unemployed.   One positive development was wage inflation. Average hourly earnings continued to moderate, with annual wage growth slowing to roughly 3.2%. That's much closer to a pace consistent with the Federal Reserve's inflation target and suggests wage pressures are continuing to ease without collapsing. Slower wage growth should help reduce inflationary pressures while still allowing workers to see income gains.   The next few monthly reports will be important. If private-sector hiring continues to weaken and participation keeps falling, concerns about the broader economy will likely increase. But if today's weakness proves to be exaggerated by temporary factors, the labor market may still be on track for a gradual slowdown rather than a sharp deterioration.   Financial Planning: Understanding Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) Employees who have built up significant company stock inside their 401(k) may have a valuable tax planning opportunity called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). NUA allows retirees to move company stock from their retirement plan into a brokerage account and receive long-term capital gains treatment on the stock's growth instead of paying higher ordinary income tax rates. The benefit of NUA can be significant for employees who purchased company stock at a low cost and saw it grow substantially over time. However, the decision involves a tradeoff: the stock's original cost basis becomes taxable as ordinary income in the year of distribution in exchange for the benefit of receiving long-term capital gains treatment on the appreciation when shares are eventually sold. If the cost basis is too large, the upfront tax liability may outweigh the potential tax savings, and keeping the stock inside a retirement account and paying ordinary income taxes on future withdrawals may be the better strategy.

Vanitha is a marketing professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Director of their Center for Branding, and author of Hyper Digital Marketing: Six Pillars of Strategic Brand Marketing in an AI-Powered World. Her client roster includes Hershey, Kraft Heinz, and P&G — brands that don't tolerate bad advice.In this episode, she explains why the old "command and control" era of brand management is over, what generative engine optimization (GEO) means for your go-to-market strategy right now, and why the most strategic thing you can do for your brand today might be making your purpose machine-readable. If you're still building a brand for humans only, you're already behind.Key Takeaways4:41 — The death of command and control branding. Brand meaning is no longer dictated from the top down. It's co-created by influencers, social users, experts — and now AI agents. Governance has to evolve.6:10 — GEO & AEO replace SEO. Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization are the new disciplines. Brand managers must now optimize for AI agents, not just human search.6:52 — Agent-to-agent commerce is coming. A customer's AI agent will negotiate with a seller's AI agent. The "double agent problem" is not hypothetical — it's the near future of B2C and B2B commerce.8:46 — Phygital is a strategic imperative. Physical and digital experiences are merging. AI-powered dynamic shelves, Gucci's tech-integrated showrooms, and real-time personalization are the new baseline customer expectation.10:07 — AI as a brand governance layer. AI can monitor every touchpoint and enforce brand compliance at scale — something no human team can do. It can also catch PR crises before they escalate.13:55 — Brand intelligence: three AI capabilities every founder needs. Predictive analytics (lead generation), generative AI (content at scale), and ethical AI (aligning purpose with every touchpoint) — each with a different role in the customer journey.16:05 — The uncanny valley of personalization. Empathetic AI can read emotional state and adjust messaging — but cross the line and customers feel surveilled. Personalization has to be "just right" or it backfires.19:20 — Startups have a structural advantage over legacy brands. Legacy companies are paralyzed by hierarchies and permission layers. Founders building from scratch can design AI-native workflows from day one.21:37 — Future-proof move: invest in data quality now. A unified, 360-degree view of customer data is the foundation for every AI capability. Without it, your AI tools have nothing to work with.22:47 — Purpose + Platform: the two most critical pillars. Purpose must become machine-readable. Platform thinking turns a product into an ecosystem. These two shifts separate brands that AI agents surface from those they ignore.26:44 — Brand as API. Codify your values into machine-readable rules. Program your AI agents to optimize for what you actually stand for — or they'll optimize for something else entirely.29:54 — Start from the experience, not the tools. The biggest mistake founders make: buying AI tools and hoping they add up to something. Work backwards from the customer's pain point, then slot in the right AI capability.37:39 — Highest-leverage AI moves in the next 60–90 days. Lead generation, predictive analytics for lifetime value modeling, and personalized content at scale — these are the three areas most founders are underleveraging right now.Tweetable Quotes"Brand meaning is no longer dictated from the top down. It's assembled by algorithms, co-created by communities, and negotiated between machines before a human is ever involved." — Dr. Vanitha Swaminathan"Your next customer's AI is already looking. The question is whether it can find you." — Jeff Mains"Taking your brand purpose and converting it into machine-readable code — that's what it means to be visible in an AI-powered world." — Dr. Vanitha Swaminathan"Peloton could have just sold treadmills. Every brand needs to ask: are we a product, or are we a platform?" — Dr. Vanitha Swaminathan"The small entrepreneur has a huge advantage. They're building systems from scratch — legacy organizations are caught with hierarchies that AI can't penetrate." — Dr. Vanitha Swaminathan"Purpose isn't a brand value anymore. It's infrastructure." — Jeff Mains"Start from the experience, work back to the tools — not the other way around." — Dr. Vanitha Swaminathan"You have to put checks and balances in place just like companies built privacy policies after the first cybersecurity wave. That's where brand management is headed." — Dr. Vanitha SwaminathanSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Your brand needs to be legible to machines, not just humans. AI agents are the new gatekeepers between your product and your buyers. If your differentiation, purpose, and proof points aren't structured in a way machines can parse, you won't make the shortlist — even if you're the best solution. Audit your website and content through the lens of an AI agent, not just a human reader.2. Stop buying tools. Start redesigning processes. Most companies pour money into AI tools that live in isolation and never add up to a better customer experience. The highest-ROI move is mapping your customer journey, identifying the friction points, and then selecting AI capabilities to solve specific problems. Tools follow process — not the other way around.3. Your data is your competitive moat. AI is only as good as what you feed it. Founders who invest early in unified, high-quality customer data — breaking down internal silos and creating a 360-degree view — will compound that advantage over time. Your competitors buying tools without clean data are spinning their wheels.4. Codify your values or your AI will invent them. If you don't tell your AI agents what to optimize for, they'll optimize for something — and it might not align with your brand. Translate your purpose, values, and brand standards into machine-readable rules. Think of your brand as an API: clear inputs, predictable outputs, consistent behavior at every touchpoint.5. The human-AI mix is your new product design challenge. The question isn't whether to use AI in customer-facing functions — it's where the handoff happens. Too much AI and you feel sterile. Too little and you can't scale. The founders who win will design deliberate human-in-the-loop moments that create trust and preserve the brand experience where it matters most.6. Think platform, not product. Every SaaS company is already closer to a platform than a product — you have data, users, and network effects working for you. Lean into it. Build the ecosystem around your core offering. Nike isn't a shoe company; Peloton isn't a treadmill company. Ask what yours is really for, and build accordingly.Guest Resourcesvanitha@katz.pitt.eduhttps://business.pitt.edu/professors/vanitha-swaminathan/https://www.facebook.com/PittBusinessSchool/photos/vanitha-swaminathan-thomas-marshall-professor-of-marketing-and-director-of-the-c/10158297436008280/https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanitha-swaminathan-5924896https://www.instagram.com/vanitha_swaminathanEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Eva Chow has been dubbed the "culture queen of Los Angeles" by The New York Times. She is a prominent cultural figure and Korean-American entrepreneur whose career spans fashion designer, restaurateur, arts patron, and founder of premium spirits brand KHEE Soju. Eva also co-chairs the star-studded Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art + Film Gala along with actor Leonardo DiCaprio. In this bonus episode, Eva talks with Scott Kerr about why Koreans' deep cultural heritage and focus on quality make Korea a unique driver of global luxury demand and how she believes luxury houses are tapping K-culture superficially. She discusses how the LACMA Art + Film Gala became the "Met Ball of the West" and Gucci's steady partnership over the years.

When Karol G walked into the Vogue studio last week, she was just days out from the start of Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour, her upcoming stadium tour which will take her across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe through summer 2027. On this week's episode of The Run-Through, the Grammy winner and first Latina to headline Coachella told Chloe Malle and guest host Ignacio Murillo, Vogue's Global Talent Casting Director, that she built the show around the idea of the Latina showgirl. She's been working since October with a full-time trainer, chef, and recovery specialist on a diet that's less about restriction than precision, with plenty of carbs, minimal processed sugar, and six to eight supplements a meal. With six wardrobe changes and a stage built to span an entire stadium, her costume team adjusts her wardrobe roughly every two weeks as her body changes on the road; her biggest source of anxiety, she said, isn't the choreography but whether the audience's energy matches what she's built. Karol G is bringing the ambitious production to countries many stadium tours skip, including Peru, Guatemala, and Panama, even though moving the show by plane across Latin America (versus truck in the U.S.) makes logistics and costs far harder, a tradeoff she considers worth it.  “For me, my Latina community, they were my first supporters,” Karol said. So for me to keep bringing my show to all those places is super important.” Her fashion, developed over seven years with stylist Brett Alan Nelson, has shifted from simply chasing cool looks toward using style as a vehicle for cultural identity, with this tour's six segments including Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, and Chrome Hearts. She also opened up about family, crediting her musician father as her closest creative sounding board. Elsewhere in the conversation, Karol G confirmed she's done getting tattoos (her three honor Selena, Rihanna, and herself), said she's single and has never used a dating app, and named hot dogs and fries as her ideal first-date food. Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour kicks off July 24 in Chicago. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Depuis cette semaine, les grandes entreprises de la mode n'ont plus le droit de détruire leurs vêtements, chaussures et accessoires invendus dans l'Union européenne. Derrière cette mesure environnementale se cache une petite révolution pour les maisons de luxe, dont le modèle économique repose en partie sur la rareté de leurs produits. C'est un changement majeur pour l'industrie de la mode. Depuis cette semaine, les grandes entreprises présentes dans l'Union européenne ne peuvent plus détruire leurs vêtements, chaussures et accessoires invendus. La nouvelle réglementation est claire : les marques doivent désormais trouver une seconde vie à leurs produits. Elles peuvent les écouler via des circuits de déstockage, les donner à des associations, les réparer, les reconditionner ou encore recycler leurs matériaux. La destruction n'est autorisée que dans des cas très précis, notamment lorsqu'un produit est dangereux, endommagé ou contrefait. Cette décision répond à un constat préoccupant. Selon l'Agence européenne pour l'environnement, entre 4% et 9% des produits textiles mis sur le marché européen sont détruits avant même d'avoir été utilisés. Cela représente chaque année entre 264 000 et près de 600 000 tonnes de vêtements, chaussures et accessoires neufs. Pour Bruxelles, ce gaspillage n'est plus compatible avec ses objectifs climatiques et sa volonté de développer une économie plus circulaire. À écouter aussiAujourd'hui l'économie - L'industrie du luxe à un tournant de son histoire Pourquoi cette réglementation est un casse-tête pour les maisons de luxe Si cette nouvelle règle semble relativement simple sur le papier, elle est beaucoup plus délicate à appliquer pour les acteurs du luxe. Car dans ce secteur, on ne vend pas seulement un vêtement, un sac ou une paire de chaussures. On vend avant tout de la rareté. L'exclusivité fait partie intégrante du produit et participe directement à sa valeur. Pendant longtemps, détruire une partie des invendus constituait un moyen de préserver cette rareté et d'éviter que les articles se retrouvent massivement soldés. Pour une grande maison de haute couture ou de maroquinerie, multiplier les promotions risque de dégrader l'image de la marque et de faire baisser la valeur perçue de ses créations. C'est précisément pour cette raison que les grands groupes comme LVMH, Chanel ou Prada accueillent cette réglementation avec prudence, voire un certain scepticisme. Ils redoutent notamment de devoir écouler davantage de marchandises sur les marchés secondaires, avec le risque de banaliser leurs produits et d'affaiblir leur image d'exclusivité. À écouter aussiAujourd'hui l'économie - LVMH, Gucci, Prada: le luxe touché par le ralentissement des achats touristiques Comment les grandes marques vont devoir s'adapter Face à cette nouvelle réglementation, les maisons de luxe vont devoir revoir leur stratégie de gestion des stocks. Une première solution consiste à conserver plus longtemps les invendus. Mais cela implique des coûts supplémentaires de stockage, de logistique, d'assurance et de manutention. Les marques peuvent également développer davantage leurs circuits de revente, tout en les contrôlant étroitement afin d'écouler leurs produits sans nuire à leur image. Enfin, une troisième voie s'impose progressivement: produire moins, mais produire mieux, en ajustant davantage les volumes à la demande réelle. Reste que prévoir les ventes dans le secteur de la mode demeure un exercice particulièrement complexe. Une collection peut rencontrer un immense succès comme passer totalement à côté de son public. Les tendances évoluent rapidement, tout comme les goûts des consommateurs. Pour les maisons de luxe, le défi consiste désormais à préserver la rareté de leurs produits sans recourir à la destruction des invendus. Une véritable révolution pour un secteur qui a longtemps préféré faire disparaître ses excédents plutôt que de les voir perdre de leur valeur.

They fined him $18 million. He built a diesel empire anyway. Jerad Wittwer grew up the son of a St. George milkman and rancher, overhauled his first engine at 13, and turned a passion for horsepower into Performance Diesel Inc. (PDI) — one of the most recognized names in diesel performance. But the road there ran straight through one of the most controversial chapters in trucking: EPA investigations, deleted trucks, and an $18 million federal fine. In this episode, Jerad sits down with Jared Flinn for an unfiltered conversation about the whole journey — the rise, the reckoning, and the redemption.  He opens up about the mistakes he made at the top, how his faith and family pulled him back, and how PDI reinvented itself into a manufacturer building 12,000+ part numbers that beat OEM quality. Today the company is on track for $55–60 million in revenue, growing 22% a year — and Jerad still isn't for sale. This is a story about horsepower, risk, faith, and the relentless pursuit of building something better.  ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 – Welcome & St. George Roots 2:07 – His Grandpa, His Dad & the Milk Route 6:08 – Work Ethic & Overhauling His First Engine at 13 9:57 – Trade School & Early Mechanic Days 12:02 – Marriage, the Milk Route & a Walmart Detour 17:33 – Taking the Leap: Starting Performance Diesel 21:57 – The Tune-Up Boom Years 28:28 – "The Smoke Don't Mean It's Broke" 30:35 – Getting Into Semis & Manufacturing Parts 35:00 – When Emissions Regulations Hit 37:00 – The EPA Comes Knocking 44:58 – The $18 Million Fine 46:07 – The Comeback & Being the Only Company Released 47:36 – Reinventing PDI: 12,000 Parts & Better Than OEM 54:01 – Going Global & the "Gucci of Diesel" 55:45 – The Partner Buyout & Funding Growth 1:01:37 – Vision, Family & the $200 Million Goal 1:08:16 – The Future of Trucking: Autonomous & Electric 1:11:27 – Faith, Peace & Staying Grounded 1:16:14 – Dream It & Do It

Once upon a time, if you wanted to buy a luxury brand item secondhand (say, a Chanel handbag) you had to have an in. There was no easy way to find one. But over the past decade, the market for secondhand luxury goods has exploded. There are now many online resellers where you can shop for used and discounted luxury items. One big problem — how can you be sure if it's real and authentic?Some online resellers claim to have solved this problem. They say they've developed a process of authentication, and so buyers can trust that the bag is really Gucci or Cartier or Hermès or whatever. But according to some luxury brands, authenticity is something that is often imitated but never replicated.In today's episode of Planet Money, the fight between Chanel and The RealReal.

In this week's episode, Jennifer spotlights the recent controversy surrounding Usha Vance, the Second Lady of the United States and a Yale-educated attorney. Usha, pregnant with her fourth child, recently found herself the subject of criticism after wearing an $8.75 Old Navy maternity dress during a public interview alongside Vice President Vance. With extensive professional accomplishments and a growing family, Usha has quickly become a prominent figure in American public life, balancing her legal expertise with her visibility as a political spouse. The conversation focused on the New York Times' fashion critic’s public disparagement of Usha Vance’s affordable maternity dress, igniting a broader dialogue about sexism, double standards, and societal expectations for women in the public eye. A key theme that emerged was the persistent policing of women’s appearance, particularly when juxtaposed against political narratives or personal choices. The discussion explored the hypocrisy of celebrating similar wardrobe choices for some women but criticizing them for others, especially along partisan lines. Jennifer issued a candid call for mutual respect, challenging listeners to consider the broader implications of the scrutiny women face in the media and public life. Several points were raised, including how affordable personal style can be misinterpreted and the ongoing need for equality and kindness in evaluating women’s choices, regardless of political affiliation. “Why in 2026, do we have a newspaper that, whether we like the New York Times or not, is a major player in the newspaper world writing anything about a woman's wardrobe, especially a pregnant woman's clothing?” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Scrutiny of Usha Vance’s $8.75 Old Navy maternity dress Impact of media criticism on political spouses Hypocrisy in societal reactions to women’s clothing choices Differences in treatment based on political affiliation The experience of pregnancy and finding affordable maternity clothing Challenge to stop policing women’s appearances Encouragement for respect, equity, and kindness among women Reflection on women attacking other women in the public sphere Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Salvatori Ferragamo didn’t make beautiful shoes, he made shoes that work with the human body beautifully. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Rocket Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here along with Stephen Semple, and we’re talking about businesses and empires and how people grew their business and the decisions they made and all of those things. Hi, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Hey, David. Dave Young: I’m struggling here because you told me we’re going to talk about Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And you’re not even going to understand this. I think it’s a clothing thing, a fashion thing. Stephen Semple: Yep. Dave Young: But let me tell you what comes to my mind, my adult 60-plus-year mind. Stephen Semple: Oh, this should be entertaining. Dave Young: I think back in the ’70s, I think, the University of Nebraska Cornhusker football team had a quarterback named Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Oh, there you go. Dave Young: He’s a pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback. And that’s what I though of when you said Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Okay. Not him. Dave Young: Fashion didn’t come into it. So it’s not him. Stephen Semple: Not him. Dave Young: So there’s another Ferragamo somewhere. Stephen Semple: There is, believe it or not. Dave Young: Oh, I’m all ears. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the thing that’s kind of interesting about Ferragamo. They’re a pretty big player in the luxury brand space. They mainly do shoes, but it’s not as big as Gucci or Hermes or some of those other ones, but they still do like a billion dollars in sales. They’ve got, call it about 3,500 employees worldwide. They have 450 stores. 85% of their sales are shoes and their shoes for the most part run from about $750 US to about three grand. Dave Young: Okay. Are you wearing yours right now? Stephen Semple: I do not have a pair. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Do not have a pair. But what’s really interesting, so the company was founded by Salvatore Ferragamo, who was an Italian immigrant. The company was started in 1923 when he opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in California where he became known as the shoemaker to the stars. Dave Young: I was thinking this would be an Italian company, but this is an American immigrant story. Stephen Semple: Well, except in 1927 he returned to Italy and he established the company in Florence. And in 1938, he purchased the historic Palazzo Spini Feroni, which remains the company’s headquarters. And this is kind of where my story starts. Dave, as you know, I was recently in Florence where I spent two weeks just wandering the city and I literally came across the Ferragamo headquarters, which is this stunning old building that’s just right off the banks of the Arno River in the center of the city. It’s this beautiful store that on the ground floor, there’s a store on the ground floor, there’s the offices above. It’s all been beautifully restored and a museum in the basement. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: So I had to visit the museum. Dave Young: And we missed the opportunity for you to just have me fly over and we’d do this live from the plaza. Stephen Semple: That’s it. We did miss this opportunity, but it’s always an opportunity for an update. So I had to visit the museum and this is where I learned the story of Salvatore Ferragamo, which actually turned out to be really fascinating. He is a very real Renaissance-style man, or he was. Engineer at heart, studied anatomy, had patents for other industrial machines. And this is what really made him different. In the early 1900s, most shoemakers believed their job was to make attractive shoes. That’s kind of how the industry leaned. And Salvatore believed his job was to make shoes that worked with the human body. So he did something different. He studied anatomy. Dave Young: I like this guy already. Stephen Semple: He attended classes… Yeah. He attended classes where he learned how the foot carried weight, how the arch functioned and why fashionable shoes were painful. Then he redesigned the shoes based upon what he discovered. And to me, that’s part of the Ferragamo story that’s worth listening to. It’s not just about the shoes, but it’s the moment where he stopped thinking like a shoemaker and started thinking like a customer. Now, this was in the museum, which is kind of a tribute to the business. So how true is that statement? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the next day I’m standing in line to climb the 458 stairs to the top of the Duomo in Florence. So while standing in line, often what happens, people get talking about where are you from? How long you’ve been? What have you seen? And the lady in front of me, Susan, asked an interesting question, “Have you seen anything that has surprised you?” And I told her about the Ferragamo Museum. I said, “That surprised me. It was really cool, really, really well done.” And she immediately told me they were her favorite shoes and she had a couple pair. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: I then asked her an important question. I said, “Susan, are they comfortable?” He said, “Surprisingly so.” Dave Young: All right, there you go. Stephen Semple: So I was in that moment sold, need to tell the story. In fact, went back to the museum, took more notes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Stephen Semple: So Salvatore Ferragamo was born in June 5th, 1898 in Bonito, which is just outside [inaudible 00:06:31], he was the 11th of 14 children. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: His parents were poor farmers with a small piece of land and much of the older children immigrated to the United States. So Salvatore’s sisters were being confirmed and by tradition in confirmation, you’re required to wear white shoes, which the Ferragamo family couldn’t afford. So Salvatore worked basically through the night making shoes for his little sisters. And he was like nine at the time. So basically a shoemaker was born. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: So when his father died in 1912, the family situation got worse and shortly afterwards, Salvatore went to Naples to learn as much as he could about shoemaking. And when he returned to Bonito, he opened a small shoemaking business with six people, but his aspirations were larger than that. And he decided to do what many Italians at the time did, join his siblings in America. So March 24th, 1915, he basically sailed to New York where he landed at Ellis Island on April 7th. And from New York, Salvatore moved to Boston where he started working for the… God, the name of this company, you’re going to love the name of this company. The Thomas G. Plant Queen Quality Shoemaking Company. Dave Young: Amen. Stephen Semple: But they were doing these machine-made shoes and they didn’t have the same quality as the ones produced by hand. So he wasn’t really loving it, but he learned something. So he moved to Santa Barbara, California, where his brothers Alfonso, Girolamo and Secondino had settled. So in Santa Barbara, he opened his first custom shoe repair shop on 1033 State Street. And he was introduced to the world of cinema by his brother Girolamo, who ironed clothes for the American film company, and his cousin Jerry, who is a character actor in the serial, The Diamond from the Sky. So through his brother, Salvatore got a boot order for early Western movies and this opened the doors to Hollywood. But in 1916, Salvatore attended anatomy classes. We talked about the anatomy classes at the University of Southern California where he discovered the secret of comfortable shoe was supporting the arch of the foot, all about the arch of the foot. Now, life-changing thing happens for him. February 4th, 1920, he’s driving his car and he gets in a serious accident. His brother Alino dies and he actually almost lost his own leg. At Bard Memorial Hospital in Ventura, he decided to apply his learning of anatomy to designing a machine for limb traction to help- Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes, to help in his own recovery. And this shapes his thinking. 1923, he transferred his business to Hollywood where he acquired the lease of the Hollywood Boot Shop at 6687 Hollywood Boulevard, just across from the Grauman’s Egyptian Theater. 1923, film director Cecil B. DeMille commissions Ferragamo to make footwear for The Ten Commandments. Other directors start to hire him for doing footwear and he starts collaborating with other directors such as David Wark Griffins, James Cruze, a whole bunch of them. But February 1926, Ferragamo received an American citizenship and a passport. So he’s now an American citizen. And he decides, here’s what he wants to do. He wanted to expand production but maintain quality and style. And he decided he was going to handcraft shoes in Italy and distribute them through the Hollywood store to these American clientele that he was developing, because this also opened up him doing work with the movie stars, right? So in 1926, he sets up Ferragamo Inc. And he leaves the United States and basically takes a liner to Rome and basically settles in Florence. And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: Well, he looked at that manufacturing process and he went, “Well, you could do the same thing but still handcraft them or you break everything into… Dave Young: Into pieces. Stephen Semple: … to pieces. Dave Young: This is the production line story. Stephen Semple: The production line story except applying it to craftsmen. Still a handcrafted, small run of shoes. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: Because when they make their shoes, they don’t make 5,000 pairs. They make a small run of the shoes. But this human chain came from production. So he applied the assembly line approach he learned in America for making machine-made shoes and applied them to handmade shoes. 1920s onward Ferragamo experiments with all sorts of different materials. He was this real artisan who experimented with fish skin and straw and cork. And he patented lots of footwear such as the wedge. All sorts of different designs he comes up with. And in 1938, he rents a few rooms in the building he’s in today, establishes the workshop, and later he’s able to purchase the entire palace, which has been the headquarters ever since. And basically the Salvatore Ferragamo became a symbol of Italy’s reconstruction after the war through design and production. And they did a lot of inventions, the invisible sandal where the upper’s made of nylon thread, which in 1947 he received the Neiman Marcus Award, which is basically one of the Oscars of the fashion industry. And it was the first time it was awarded to an Italian for footwear. They basically did big innovations with stiletto heels, all sorts of things. Now there’s no question there weren’t setbacks along the way. 1929, the market crash hurt the company. ’33, they had to declare bankruptcy, but they came back. And he was a real Renaissance man. Among the patents held by Ferragamo, there’s many that have nothing to do with footwear, such as he has a patent on an offensive and defensive anti-aircraft system. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: And a patent on the construction of Navy forts and a patent on a multiple launch torpedo. Dave Young: Holy cow. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Right? But the big thing that he talked about in his memoirs was he loved feet. He had this fascination with feet. He wrote in his memoirs, “I love feet. They talk to me. As I take them in my hands, I feel their strengths, their weaknesses, their vitality, or their failings. A good foot, its muscles firm, it’s arch strong is a delight to touch. A masterpiece of divine workmanship.” He doesn’t sound like an engineer, does he? Dave Young: No, but recognizing that there’s engineering going on, especially in your foot, it’s one of the most complicated parts of your body. Stephen Semple: Another thing he wrote in his memoirs was, “When I began studying human anatomy, I found my first clue to the problem in the distribution of weight of the body over the joints of the foot. I discovered the interesting fact that the weight of our bodies when we are standing erect drops straight down on the arch of the foot.” So when he studied foot mechanics, he was looking at the laws governing the way we walk, the architecture of the skeleton and how muscles function. And what he understood was how important weight distribution is between the center of the plantar arch and the ends of the foot, the heel and the toes, especially in motion, like that the foot provides joints and swivels and does all of this other stuff. So to support this complex structure, Ferragamo created this special steel shank inside of the shoe that allows the foot to move like an inverted pendulum is how he described it. Dave Young: Oh, wow. Stephen Semple: So he looked at how architects and builders of cathedrals use plumb lines to find the medial line and he applied that to the body to create this axis of equilibrium that sits right on the center of the plantar arch. Dave Young: Oh, that’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he had books and books and books on this in terms of how he was studying how the foot moves in standing and walking and things along that line. And his list of innovations went on and on and on and on. It was just really, really crazy. And as I said, when I looked at it, I went, “This guy is… He’s a Renaissance man. He’s an engineer. He’s an artist. He’s a philosopher.” He even had things where he talked about how there was these different personalities of women and how they interacted with their footwear. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: He created what we would call character diamonds where here’s their strength, here’s their weakness. It was amazing. Dave Young: Oh, he’s the kind of guy that if you walked past him, he could tell you exactly where your foot hurts, where your back hurts. Right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: He can see that anatomy. He can see the forces at work. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Those kinds of people are rare and kind of cool to interact with. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And even his early advertising, much more avant-garde art than commercial advertising. He hired this futuristic artist, Lucio Venna, to create his logo and advertising posters. And if you look at them, they were not typical shoe ads. They were artistic and abstract and in some ways you weren’t even sure… They were really beautiful and cool and inspiring. Dave Young: That’s awesome. Stephen Semple: So you can now see why when I visited the museum and I’m reading all of this stuff that I got unbelievably fascinated. And then when I meet the woman who was like, “Oh yeah, no, the shoes are surprisingly comfortable.” I’m like, okay, I need to go back. Dave Young: I think you’d look fine in a nice wedge. Stephen Semple: There you go. There you go. I find the wedges ugly. I was actually disappointed he invented those. And then even afterwards, I went into the store and looked at the shoes and the shoes are absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: So the thing I found that was interesting to me, there was a couple of lessons here. And I find this is a really common reoccurring theme with a lot of the empires, not thinking like somebody from the industry, but thinking like the customer. And he followed his passion, but his passion was to solve a problem. Yes, he wanted to create beautiful shoes, but lots of people were creating beautiful shoes. What he wanted to create were beautiful shoes that were comfortable. And he applied all that engineering knowledge to fashionable shoes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: He was thinking like a customer and he changed the way we look at shoes, he changed the way they were engineered. And he also then changed the way handcrafted shoes are made. He looked at that mass manufacturing model, which didn’t appeal to him, but looked at it and said, “I can apply this to handcrafted shoes.” Dave Young: All right. What a great story. What’s really strange, it’s a reverse immigrant story. He immigrated to the US, became a citizen, and then went back to Italy to change the world. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Everything about this guy was fascinating. And there was even a thing where they were talking about when he passed away, his personal book collection and how it had philosophy in it and religion in it and engineering in it and books on art in it. Just again, all of this very much Renaissance thinking. If you think about people like Leonardo da Vinci, who’s from Florence, that’s what he was. He was an artist and an engineer. Dave Young: Yeah. Great story. So I’m going to bring this full circle to the Nebraska quarterback, Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: There you go. Okay. Dave Young: I did a quick Google search while you were talking to see if they were related. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And I don’t think they are because in 2016, the shoe company sued Vince Ferragamo for a trademark infringement. I don’t know the details. It was behind a paywall, but I got the gist of it from the headline that probably not the same family. Stephen Semple: Or from the branch of the family that everybody was like, “Those guys [inaudible 00:20:28].” Dave Young: Yeah. The black sheep. The ones that stayed in the US. Stephen Semple: Well, we sent them to Nebraska for a reason. They were supposed to just stay there. Dave Young: Well, I don’t know where he’s from. He’s probably recruited to Nebraska. Well, I appreciate the Ferragamo story. Great. Stephen Semple: I knew you would like it because it was just one of those ones where it was like this guy was a really interesting dude. Dave Young: Yeah. We’d loved to have hung out with that guy. Stephen Semple: That’s actually the thing. The more I read about it, this would be one of those people that if he were alive today, I would say I would want to sit down and have an espresso with this guy. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, trying to think of a good sign-off for a shoe company. Safe walking out there and we’ll see you next time on another episode of the Empire Builders Podcast.

Four-time WPRA World Champion Hope Thompson joins The Breakaway Breakdown to talk about how life looks as she steps back from full-time rodeoing and steps into the futurity and training world and what it takes to build great rope horses from the ground up.Thompson talks through the wins that shaped her career, from the college finals to WPRA world titles and all-around championships, and how adding more events only fueled her love for roping.The conversation dives into the shift from hauling hard to the rodeos to focusing more on young horses, futurities and creating a long-term business. Thompson breaks down why the futurity world has become such an important part of her program, how she defines success now and why she still has no plans to step away from rodeo completely.She also gets into the technical side of training rope horses, from scoring and tracking cattle to letting each horse tell her when they are ready. Thompson shares what she looks for in a prospect, why a good mind matters as much as talent and how horses like Ink and Gucci have helped shape the way she trains.About SmartPak This episode is brought to you by SmartPak and ColiCare.

Let me give you a little lesson on finance.    Just a few years ago, I thought I needed to have all the fancy things that were being promoted online.....   The private jets, expensive vacations, Rolexes, $1,000 pairs of shoes, name brand jeans.......   And let me tell you this........   I always felt uncomfortable in those things.   A part of it was knowing what it was to be poor a few times in my life.    My ego told me I needed to have these things to be "someone."    So, I bought these things knowing they would get me into rooms where I would look sharp, but still be the brokest motherfucker in a room.   In many aspects, I got an exponential return on investing in these items including the lessons that come with it.    First thing you should know........   Those flexing their Lambos, private jets, Gucci belts............they're really not rich, nor wealthy.    I've met wealthy people.    They drive regular cars or trucks and own things of signifigance like buildings, land, and other financial assets that make them returns.    When I realized I didn't need all those things I started getting into bigger rooms.    I added value and started getting noticed.    People that could actually afford private jets turned me onto the game of how they got wealthy and stayed that way.     They started by wearing regular clothes and flying American Airlines.    There's one simple secret on how to live like nobody else, so you can live like nobody else.      About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
